South Dakota Schools Benefit From State Tax Revenue
South Dakota schools have received over 3.0 million dollars since 1933 in replacement and relief funds. State Treasurer Frank Siewert reported that 2.73 million came as replacement taxes to reduce property levies, plus 252 thousand to distressed districts, with beer and liquor taxes totaling 563 thousand aiding relief. The state eliminated state property tax and reduced debt from 1933 to mid-1935, while general fund expenditures fell by about 2.25 million over three fiscal years.
